Sushant
Singh
Rajput
died
by
suicide
yesterday
(June
14,
2020)
at
his
home
in
Mumbai.
The
actor
was
34.
Fans
and
the
entertainment
industry
expressed
shock
and
grief
over
the
actor's
demise.
Pankaj
Vishnu,
who
played
the
antagonist
on
Pavitra
Rishta,
recently
opened
up
and
shared
his
fond
memories
of
Sushant
in
an
interview
with
SpotBoyE.
Pankaj
revealed,
“Sushant
and
I
were
close
during
the
filming
of
Pavitra
Rishta.
I
am
also
an
engineer
and
he
also
came
from
Imperial
College
of
Engineering,
so
we
bonded
really
well
due
to
that.
He
was
the
hero
and
I
was
the
villain
but
we
were
really
good
friends
off-screen.
We
shot
for
many
scenes
together.
So,
we
have
had
some
great
moments,
which
I
will
cherish
forever.
I
remember
while
doing
Pavitra
Rishta,
he
had
participated
in
Jhalak
Dikhlaja
and
for
the
longest
time
he
didn't
sleep
properly.
Because
he
used
to
complete
his
12
hours
shift,
go
for
rehearsals,
reach
home
late
night
and
then
again
at
6
in
the
morning,
he
used
to
go
for
his
martial
art
classes
and
come
back
to
our
sets.
He
had
worked
really
hard
to
make
it
big.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“For
the
last
one
and
half
years,
we
were
not
in
touch
as
we
got
busy
with
lives
and
he
was
engaged
in
many
films.
But
the
last
meeting
I
had
with
him
is
extremely
memorable.
I
remember
around
2
years
back,
I
was
passing
through
Lokhandwala
backroad
and
he
was
in
his
car.
He
saw
me,
waved
to
me
and
stopped
his
car
in
the
middle
of
the
road
and
came
to
hug
me.
People
passing
by
started
honking
and
then
he
realised
the
car
was
not
properly
parked.
So,
he
parked
the
car
and
we
had
some
fun
conversation.
Meanwhile,
his
fans
gathered
and
started
asking
for
a
selfie.
He
didn't
disappoint
them
obviously.
He
was
really
very
happy
that
day.
I
never
knew
it
would
be
our
last
meeting.”
The
actor
concluded
by
sharing
a
special
memory:
“I
remember
when
we
used
to
shoot
for
Pavitra
Rishta,
Sushant
left
his
wallet
at
home
and
when
he
had
a
packup,
he
asked
me
if
I
could
lend
him
100
bucks.
So,
I
dropped
him
halfway
in
my
car
and
gave
him
200
bucks
for
the
auto.
And
that
is
still
pending
on
him,”
he
said.
